Patient's question:
I want to do a bacterial culture and sensitivity test on prostatic fluid. Can I do a bacterial culture and sensitivity test on prostatic fluid?Doctor's answer:
Bacterial culture of prostatic fluid is generally used for bacterial prostatitis that does not respond to treatment or has poor therapeutic effects. Most secondary hospitals can perform bacterial culture and drug sensitivity tests. Based on the sensitivity test results, targeted treatment for bacterial infection can be implemented, which tends to be more effective. It is indeed possible. The prostate can be relieved, but the treatment period is usually long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medications should be used according to symptoms. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay close attention to personal hygiene.
